Railways face rising taxes hurtting profits and urging economy
The piece notes rising railway taxes from 1920 to 1925 and projectable 1926, with 6 to 7 cents per dollar of railroad revenue going to taxes. It attributes the rise largely to new or higher state and local taxes, warns debt service consumes large city and state budgets, and argues railroads seek no special tax breaks but favor broader government economy. It calls for constructive criticism and suggestions.
